Louis took a deep breath as he tucked the velvet box into his jacket pocket.
Inside that box was a dainty silver engagement ring, a shiny band around the middle and a diamond in the centre.

It was absolutely perfect for Harry. Louis could just picture it on his finger and the thought made him so excited he thought he'd pass out.
"Louis!"
Louis sighed nervously as he left their bedroom to see Harry waiting in the living room.
"Finally! And I thought I took forever to get ready."
"Whatever," Louis rolled his eyes, trying to hide his nerves.
Harry stood up and held out his hand for Louis to take, who grabbed onto it with a big smile.
"Shall we go, my love?"
"We shall."

Louis' palms were sweaty as him and Harry walked through Brooklyn with their hands clasped together.
He was silent while Harry talked about how his week had been, too busy thinking about what he was going to say.
He didn't know how to properly propose to someone, he's never done it before.
And this was Harry, the love of his life, his soulmate.
He knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with this man since the very first day they met.
And here he was, ready to propose with absolutely no clue how to do so.
"Lou?"
"Huh?"
"You have not been listening, have you?"
"Sorry, just zoned out."
"Is everything okay? You've been acting weird lately.."
"Yeah, I'm sorry. I've just got a lot on my mind."
"Oh, did you wanna talk about it?"
Louis took a deep breath and stopped walking, turning to look at Harry. "I guess now is as good of time as any," he mumbled. "Harry, you are the love of my life, there's no doubt in my mind about it. And I want to spend forever with you, I want to wake up to you every morning and call you my husband. I am so very much in love with you, Harry Styles," Louis got down on one knee and pulled out the box from his pocket, slowly opening it to reveal the ring that sparkled under all the street lights. "So will you marry me?"
And Harry laughed.
There were tears in his eyes, but he laughed.
"You moron, oh my god."
Louis furrowed his eyebrows and his arms dropped to his side. "What?"
Harry continued to cry-laugh, as he reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a velvet box.
"I was going to propose to you tonight."
Louis was quiet for a while and then he laughed too.
"Get up so I can propose to you now. I had a speech planned and everything. No way we're going home without you hearing it."
Louis laughed through his own tears and stood up.
"Louis, you are absolutely perfect and I know you don't see it, but I love you and I want to be with you forever. I know that you're the one, I knew it since the first time I saw you, let alone even talked to you. And when you said yes to going out with me, I was the happiest I've ever been. These past 3 years have been the best years of my life and I would love to make many more memories with you, as your husband. So, Louis Tomlinson, will you marry me?" He opened the box to reveal a silver band with a very subtle diamond in the middle.

Simple, but effective. It was perfect for Louis.
Louis stared down at Harry as tears welled up in his eyes.
"Yes, of course. And you'll marry me?"
Harry stood back up and nodded with a grin. "Of course, Boo bear."
They both tried to hold back their tears, sniffling every so often, as they slipped one another's rings onto their fingers.
"I can't believe this just happened."
"This ring is absolutely gorgeous."
Louis grinned and leaned forward to finally kiss him.
